PMQs Today Without The Shouting, 25 May 2016

We've got another edition of PMQs today, but things aren't going the usual way this time - David Cameron is off at the G7 and Jeremy Corbyn won't be around either. That means it's George Osborne in the blue corner and Angela Eagle stepping up in the red corner.

'George Osborne to stand in for PM' is the most chilling sentence I've heard in a long time. #PMQs

Let's take a look at everything that happened, without all the shouting:

Osborne was a bit too keen and tried to answer a question before it was even asked

Speaker tells Osborne he was ahead of himself - tried to answer before the Q was put #PMQs

Angela Eagle came out swinging

@angelaeagle “We look forward to the vote on Trident - he should get on with it” #PMQs
— Owain Gardner (@Odbe34) May 25, 2016

Which was a bit of a relief for many Labour supporters after Corbyn's slightly underwhelming record during PMQs

ALREADY Angela Eagle is doing better than Corbyn. #PMQs
— Hughster (@hughster) May 25, 2016

Angela Eagle has more punch and wit in one question than Corbyn has had since taking over... #PMQs

When asked about Google's tax affairs, Osborne dodged the question by attacking Eagle for not asking the question when she was working for the Treasury...

Osborne says Eagle appears to have confirmed she asked no questions about Google while at Treasury #pmqs

There was then a bit more school playground bickering, with Eagle and Osborne essentially arguing about whose party was more divided

#PMQs @angelaeagle turning this into The Jeremy Kyle Show #awful

Angela borrowed some words from 'The Thick Of It'

Omnishambles klaxon! #PMQs

Osborne popped in a few zingers

Osborne: Labour are like rats leaving a sinking ship. Everyone is off to be mayors. #PMQs
— Simple Politics (@easypoliticsUK) May 25, 2016

Osborne: "when we said we'd create jobs for all, we didn't mean the entire PLP" #PMQs

Richard Drax stood up for a question but then instead reeled off a few minutes of pro-Brexit propaganda, prompting a little telling off from the Speaker

I bet Richard Drax thinks that was a brilliant question. #PMQs
— David Smith (@avaragado) May 25, 2016

@RichardDrax_MP clearly a #brexiter #PMQs but like all #brexiters incapable of putting a coherent question together!

Angus Robertson was as fierce as ever

Angus Robertson says response "frankly not good enough". He says problem in highlands isn't immigration, but emigration #PMQs
— Nick Eardley (@nickeardleybbc) May 25, 2016

But Osborne ignored the serious questions and used the time to tenuously attack the SNP

Utterly shameful & bumbling response by Osborne to @AngusRobertson qu on deportation of the Brain family from Dingwall #PMQs
